Campus Food:
I looooove Bruff! Most people complain about it, but I regularly eat fresh fruit with a dairy product and nuts as well as a plate of veggies and vegan grains, and soup. Loyola also has a dining hall that Tulane students can eat at, but its options are severely limited in comparison to Bruff and I often find trouble finding health options that aren't just salad. The LBC also has a food court.

Overall Experience:
The courses cover all the topics you would expect in a degree for tropical medicine and parasitology. The times for course offerings could be better, considering they conflict with a lot of classes in other departments that would make students more desirable in the workforce.

Guys & Girls:
Finding a girl that is both good looking and fun, and also has a decent and interesting personality, interests outside of partying, and not a straight up rude bratty person can be fairly difficult. In terms of looks, there are plenty of pretty girls, but it's not like a state school or a southern school like College of Charleston or Sewanee. The rich northeastern arrogance and rudeness can get very old

Diversity:
it's a LOT of snotty rich northerners, not many people from the south. not many black people either. All the asians stick together. People are very liberal compared to what I'm used to coming from a prep school in the south, and I was fairly liberal compared to most of my peers back home

Overall ExperienceWhat's this?

Tulane is an acquired taste. Some people take to it instantly, but for others it can take more than a semester to fit in and enjoy the university system. All of the students questioned said that they love Tulane and love being here. Living in such a culturally rich environment creates a unique learning opportunity that many kids who go to different schools will never get a chance to experience.

It takes a very intelligent and well-balanced person to attend Tulane. The nightlife and 24/7 party scene can tempt students
to blow off classes and just have a good time. Finding the right balance of partying and school work makes for the best experience. Remember, this isn’t high school glorified; college is actually going to be a lot of work. Even the so-called “blow-off classes” that you take for humanities credit will make you read one long-winded book after the other and write 10–15 page research papers by the end of the semester. You’ll see a lot of people come in for the fall semester that won’t come back after Christmas. Some people just can’t take the pressure; others miss home too much. If you can get into Tulane, you can handle the workload; it’s just that some adapt better than others. If you do have trouble, most professors are available to talk to, and the ERC’s tutoring and writing workshops are free and easy to access.

You’ll never sit at home on a weekend for lack of something to do, and holidays—especially Halloween and (obviously) Mardi Gras—are some of the best parts about living in New Orleans. The live jazz music and the food is also fantastic. If Bruff’s food tasted like anything out in the city, the average student weight would be close to 300 pounds. Not only will you get a well-balanced education at Tulane, but you will also meet some of your best friends, become involved in things you never imagined you would do at home, be a leader of a group when you never had that chance in high school, and be introduced to a new, unique environment and culture that can not be found in any other place in the country. There is no other school like Tulane, and there is no other city like New Orleans.
